“Redskins are facing a HEFTY fine from the NFL for handing of RG3 injury when they said last week he was “shaken up.” NFL want teams to immediately acknowledge a head injury to prevent concussed players from getting pushed back on field ”

The Redskins are 2-3 in Griffin’s first season in the league. He was the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.
